Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0244

"Yes!" she sobbed loudly. "He was my soulmate."

"He was your soulmate, yet you agreed to marry my son?" Marshall snapped angrily.

Alpha Aaron rolled his eyes, as I looked at him accusingly. "Yet you think you have no blame to take for any of this?"

His eyes narrowed at me. "My daughter made a mistake."

"I am sure we could say the same for Miles. It had to hurt him seeing the woman he hoped to settle down with, with another man, hence reacting the way he did. I can see this is not going to be solved in the way you see fit. So, I think we are going to have to compromise. And that includes you, Alpha." I said curtly, I would happily see Miles punished for what he had done, but right now, I had to put that to one side. I was here as the Beta of the pack. Best friend to Marshall. I needed to act with the pack's best interests in mind, not my own desire for revenge.

"You expect me to compromise? After everything that has occurred? We had a big wedding, there are people out there expecting a happy marriage. A beautiful bride and groom. And instead we have a dead body, a missing groom and a wailing bride. Far from a good image for either pack, is it?" Alpha Aaron snarled at us, and Marshall chuckled.

"Well, take the wailing bride out of the back door and return home with her. Allow the guests to continue the party. If anyone asks where the bride and groom are, we will say they left for their room, to enjoy their wedding night. Who would know differently? Or question different? Nothing needs to be announced yet. Then we will say the marriage was unsuccessful in a week or so. Say that chosen mates did not work for either of them. Simple and short. No complications. No need for long explanations.” Marshall suggested with a dismissive shrug.

Alpha Aaron eyed him like a piece of meat right now. "You know I should be reporting that psycho son of yours to the Werewolf Council? He is a danger not only to himself, his pack, but to other packs. He should not be allowed to become Alpha!"

Every word he said was correct in that statement, but I could do nothing about it, or I would be held. for treason against my own pack. Because that is what those within my pack would consider it. Miles did need reporting. Because this was not the first time, not after learning what he did to Harley; and I fear what he did to Harley was likely not the first time either. The boy was dangerous. Too dangerous for the pack.

"Hmm, him not being Alpha? Well, that is being looked into. As for the Werewolf Council, I would appreciate it if that did not happen. Perhaps another donation to your pack would convince you to keep this between ourselves? Let me reassure you that Miles will be dealt with." Marshall offered, only angering me further now. But Alpha Aaron nodded, a small smirk upon his face. Seemed money did indeed talk.

The office door suddenly flung open, and I hoped it would be Miles returning to deal with his mess, but instead, it was Jordan and Ellis, both naked, evidently having shifted to get here sooner, and looking more than a little anxious, as their eyes met ours.

"Miles escaped. We have looked and cannot find him within pack. We have warriors looking for him, and all borders are now locked, but there is no sign of him." Ellis said breathlessly.

I looked across at Marshall, whose head had dropped into his hand, while Alpha Aaron's eyes flared angrily, before he looked at Marshall.

“I shall be in touch about your offer. I

shall leave you to deal with this." And with that he grabbed his

daughter by the arm and dragged et her from the office, leaving est

of us standing in shock, now- wondering how best to deal with finding Miles. This sorry mess only got worse...
